ആദ്യാവസാനം ആവേശം നിറയുന്ന ഒരു ഫുൾ എൻർജി പടം. അതാണ് ആവേശം. യുവാക്കളുടെ വൈബിൽ അവരുടെ എനർജി ലെവലുമായി യോജിക്കും വിധം ഒരുക്കിയിരിക്കുന്ന സിനിമ. ബെംഗളൂരിൽ പഠനത്തിനായി എത്തിയ കുറച്ചു വിദ്യാർഥികൾ രംഗ എന്ന ഗ്യാങ്സ്റ്ററെ പരിചയപ്പെടുന്നതും തുടർന്നുണ്ടാകുന്ന സംഭവങ്ങളുമാണ് കഥാപശ്ചാത്തലം. കോമഡിയും ആക്ഷനും ഇട കലർത്തി അവതരിപ്പിച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന സിനിമ തിയറ്ററിൽ തീർക്കുന്നതും വലിയ ആവേശം. 

മികവുകൾ ∙ ഫഹദ് ഫാസിൽ – Re-introducing FaFa എന്ന ടാഗ് ലൈൻ അതേപടി ശരി വയ്ക്കും പ്രകടനം. സൈക്കോ ഷമ്മിയെ വെല്ലുന്ന സൈക്കോയ്ക്കും അപ്പുറമായ രംഗ. ആദ്യ ഷോട്ട് മുതൽ അവസാന ഷോട്ട് വരെ ഒരേ എനർജി. അങ്ങേയറ്റം ഹൈപ്പർ ആയ ഇയാൾ അടുത്ത നിമിഷം എന്തു ചെയ്യുമെന്നുള്ള ആകാംക്ഷയാണ് പ്രേക്ഷകനെ നയിക്കുന്നത്. ഫൈറ്റ് സീനുകളിലെ മെയ്‌വഴക്കം അസാധ്യം. ലൗഡ് ആയുള്ള ഡയലോഗ് ഡെലിവറിയും മാസ് മാനറിസങ്ങളും കഥാപാത്രത്തിനു പൂർണമായും യോജിക്കുന്നത്. 

∙ സുഷിൻ ശ്യാം – പാട്ടുകളും പശ്ചാത്തല സംഗീതവുമാണ് ആവേശത്തിന്റെ സീൻ മാറ്റുന്നത്. രണ്ടും രണ്ടായി വേർതിരിച്ചറിയാൻ പറ്റാത്ത വിധം ഒന്നിച്ചു ചേർത്ത് കോർത്തിണക്കിയാണ് അവതരിപ്പിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നത്. പ്രേക്ഷകനെ ഒരു റോളർ കോസ്റ്റർ റൈഡ് ലൂപ്പിൽ കയറ്റി വിടുന്നതു പോലെ തുടക്കം മുതൽ ഒടുക്കം വരെ ഒരേ വൈബ്. തന്റെ മുൻ സിനിമകളിലെ പോലെ പല രംഗങ്ങളും സുഷിൻ തന്റെ സംഗീതം കൊണ്ട് എലിവേറ്റ് ചെയ്തിരിക്കുന്നത് കാണാം. 

കൂട്ടുകെട്ടിന്റെ രസക്കൂട്ട്; ‘വർഷങ്ങൾക്കു ശേഷം’ റിവ്യു

∙ ഫൈറ്റ് – കണ്ടു മടുത്ത ഫൈറ്റ് സീനുകളിൽ നിന്ന് വ്യത്യസ്തം. ഇന്റെർവെല്ലിന് മുൻപും ക്ലൈമാക്സിലുമുള്ള ഫൈറ്റ് സീനുകൾ എടുത്തു പറയേണ്ടവ. 100 പേരെ ഇടിച്ചിടുന്ന സീനൊക്കെ മറ്റു പല സിനിമികളിലും അവതരിപ്പിക്കപ്പെട്ടിട്ടുണ്ടെങ്കിലും ‘കത്തി’ എന്നു പറയാനാകാത്ത വിധമാണ് ആവേശത്തിൽ ഒരുക്കിയിരിക്കുന്നത്. 

∙ ഫസ്റ്റ് ഹാഫ് – ഒരു സിനിമയാക്കാനുള്ള കഥയുണ്ട് ഫസ്റ്റ് ഹാഫിൽ. അതു മാത്രമായി കണ്ടിറങ്ങിയാലും ഒരു സിനിമ കണ്ട സംതൃപ്തിയുണ്ടാകും. ഒരു തരി പോലും ലാഗ് അടിപ്പിക്കാത മാസിനു മാസും കോമഡിക്കു കോമഡിയുമായി ഒരു വെൽ പാക്ക്ഡ് എന്റെർടെയിനർ തന്നെയാണ് ആദ്യ പകുതി. 

∙ സജിൻ ഗോപു – രംഗയുടെ വലം കൈയ്യായ അമ്പാനായി എത്തിയ സജിൻ ഒരു രക്ഷയുമില്ലാത്ത പ്രകടനമാണ് കാഴ്ച വച്ചിരിക്കുന്നത്. ഇടയ്ക്ക് രോമാഞ്ചത്തിലെ കഥാപാത്രവുമായി സാമ്യം തോന്നാമെങ്കിലും പല രംഗങ്ങളിലും സജിൻ ഫഹദിനെ പോലും മറികടക്കും വിധം മിന്നി. സജിന്റെ സിറ്റുവേഷനൽ കോമഡികൾക്ക് തിയറ്ററിൽ ഉയർന്നത് വലിയ പൊട്ടിച്ചിരിയാണ്. 

രോമാഞ്ചം എന്ന ആദ്യ സിനിമയിലൂടെ തന്നെ വരവറിയിച്ച ജിത്തു മാധവൻ രണ്ടാം ചിത്രത്തിലും തന്റെ ക്രാഫ്റ്റ് വെളിവാക്കി. സമീർ താഹിറിന്റെ ഛായാഗ്രഹണ മികവ് എപ്പോഴും എടുത്തു പറയേണ്ടതില്ലെങ്കിലും രാത്രി രംഗങ്ങളും ലൈറ്റിങ്ങുമൊക്കെ അതിഗംഭീരമായി ഒരുക്കിയിരിക്കുന്നു. വിദ്യാർഥികളായെത്തിയ പുതുമുഖങ്ങൾ, മൻസൂർ അലി ഖാൻ, ആശിഷ് വിദ്യാർഥി തുടങ്ങി പ്രത്യേകം പരമാർശിക്കേണ്ട പ്രകടനങ്ങൾ വേറെയുമുണ്ട്. 

മെച്ചപ്പെടുത്താവുന്നത്

∙ രണ്ടാം പകുതി – ആദ്യ പകുതിയുമായി താരതമ്യം ചെയ്യുമ്പോൾ രണ്ടാം പകുതി അത്ര മികച്ചതല്ല. പല സീനുകളും തട്ടിക്കൂട്ടി ചെയ്യുന്നതു പോലെ തോന്നിക്കുമെങ്കിലും സേഫ് ആയ ക്ലൈമാക്സിലാണ് സിനിമ അവസാനിക്കുന്നത്. 

∙ യുവാക്കളാണ് ടാർജറ്റ്, അവർ മാത്രമാണ് ടാർജറ്റ് – 15 മുതൽ 35 വയസ്സു വരെയുള്ളവരെ ലക്ഷ്യം വച്ചുള്ള സിനിമ കുടുംബപ്രേക്ഷകരെ എത്രത്തോളം ആകർഷിക്കുമെന്ന് കാത്തിരുന്ന് കാണേണ്ടി വരും. പക്ഷേ രോമാഞ്ചവും പ്രേമലുവുമൊക്കെ ഹിറ്റായെങ്കിൽ ആവേശത്തിനും ബോക്സ്ഒാഫിസ് ഭരിക്കാം. 

മലയാള സിനിമാ വ്യവസായം അതിന്റെ നല്ല കാലങ്ങളിലൊന്നിലാണിപ്പോൾ. അക്കാലത്ത് കയ്യടിച്ച് പ്രോത്സാഹിപ്പിക്കേണ്ട സിനിമ തന്നെയാണ് ആവേശം. സ്ഥിരം ഫോർമുലകളിൽനിന്നു മാറാതെ, എന്നാൽ അവതരണരീതിയിൽ മാറ്റം വരുത്തി എത്തുന്ന ആവേശം ബോക്സ് ഒാഫിസ് ബാറ്റൺ കയ്യിലേന്തി കുതിപ്പ് തുടരാനാണ് സാധ്യത.

'Sulaikha Manzil' Review: A must-watch film that leaves you satisfied like a cup of Sulaimani

Even before the release of the movie 'Sulaikha Manzil', the Mappilai songs featured in the film had already become hugely popular, evoking a sense of Malabar's very own musical tradition. Ashraf Hamza's film revolves around two Malabar Muslim weddings and captures the rural landscape of Tirur. The story features a large cast of relatable characters, making it a lovely cauldron of Biryani indeed!

At the centre of Sulaikha Manzil is a Malabar Muslim family consisting of three brothers and a sister who are all set to celebrate their sister's wedding. But what makes the film special is that there is much to ruminate over beyond the wedding celebrations. Director Ashraf Hamza, known for his thoughtful films like Thamasha and Bheemante Vazhi, offers a compelling narrative about the importance of love, trust, and individual happiness in a marriage.

The family arranges the marriage between Haala (Anarkali Marikar) and Ameen (Lukman), who agree to the alliance without really knowing each other. The film focuses on their emotional conflicts the day before the wedding and the preparations for the big day. Anarkali gives an impressive performance as a would-be bride who is unenthusiastic about marrying a total stranger due to family pressure. Her character undergoes a rollercoaster of emotions, and she is very convincing. Lukman is equally good, delivering a solid performance.

'Aayirathonnu Nunakal' review: Slow-burning mystery drama on unmasking lies and testing bonds

Review | Njaanum Pinnoru Njaanum: Odd tale of an enigmatic philanthropist

Chemban Vinod, who plays Haala's brother, is also impressive. The scenes featuring the bonding between the siblings are a sight for sore eyes. Though their scenes are brief, Sabareesh Varma and Archana Padmini, as a couple in love, are delightful to watch.

The film's biggest plus has to be Vishnu Vijay's soulful music, which captures the essence of Malabar Muslim weddings. Special mention to cinematographer Sameer Karat, who beautifully captures the wedding scenes, almost making us feel like we're part of the celebrations. In short, Sulaikha Manzil is as satisfying as a cup of sweet Sulaimani.

Jai Ganesh movie review: A loud Unni Mukundan is only one of the several problems in this weakly penned film

Jai ganesh movie review: ranjith sankar's unni mukundan-starrer is the latest film on the block with a person with a physical disability at the centre and no, it hasn't handled the character with sensitivity..

Growing up, I always wondered why our movies never featured characters with disabilities in prominent roles, exploring their lives instead of relegating them to the background or using them as mere sources of comedy. However, upon encountering movies that depicted the stories of persons with disabilities (PwDs), my desire for such representation waned. This was due to filmmakers’ tendency to use PwDs as central figures solely to evoke melodramatic emotions, portraying their lives as filled with perpetual pain and sadness, reducing them to constant sources of tears. Unfortunately, such movies continued to be made, as filmmakers found it simpler to craft “touching” movies around their “struggles”. Ranjith Sankar’s Jai Ganesh, starring Unni Mukundan in the lead role, is the latest movie on the block with a person with a physical disability at the centre of the narrative, and it’s certainly not an easy watch.

An aspiring bike rider, Ganesh (Unni Mukundan), sees his life take a downward spiral after a fateful motorcycle accident costs him the mobility of his legs permanently. Confined to a wheelchair, Ganesh learns graphic design and joins a TV channel, which thrives on sensationalism. With a talent for ethical hacking, he secretly aids lawyer Parvathy Marar (Jomol) in solving complex cases under the guise of “Jai Ganesh”, a comic superhero character he has created. Facing constant ridicule and pity, Ganesh finds solace in his father (Ashokan) and a young boy named Ayaan, who lives in his building. Frustrated with his job and aspiring to publish his own comics, Ganesh meets Nidhi (Mahima), the owner of a new kids’ app. Together, they launch the Jai Ganesh comics through Nidhi’s app, which quickly becomes a success. Meanwhile, Ayaan, the son of an MLA, is kidnapped in front of Ganesh. Despite police efforts, the perpetrator remains elusive. Devastated by his inability to save Ayaan, Ganesh decides to assist the police using his tech skills. As they delve deeper, they uncover a motive beyond mere ransom: the perpetrator seeks to inflict suffering upon the MLA. The rest of the film explores whether Ganesh and the police can rescue Ayaan.

From the outset, the movie’s perspective on Ganesh is unmistakably clear, and it is very similar to the privileged ableist gaze. The film wastes no time in showcasing the numerous “hardships” he faces daily. From having to sit on the floor while showering to a character questioning him about the urine bottle attached to his wheelchair and people saying “how sad” as soon as they meet him, Jai Ganesh’s choice of instances in the first few minutes itself underscores the way it is about to treat the character for the runtime of 125 minutes.

By “carefully” selecting moments that accentuate Ganesh’s misery and perpetual suffering, the film reinforces its lack of sensitivity towards the character. While Ganesh’s lament about his lack of friends and romantic prospects due to others’ pity or aversion towards him resonates with the experiences of many real-life people with disabilities, the movie too seldom portrays him as worthy until he begins showcasing his skills as a designer and hacker and eventually turns into a real-life version of the superhero character he created, as if suggesting that he (or any PwD for that matter) is worthy of attention and compassion only if highly-skilled.

Watch Jai Ganesh trailer here:

By consistently portraying others either pitying Ganesh or behaving poorly towards him, and predominantly eliciting sympathy, the film un/knowingly aligns with these treatments. Although these instances may have been included in the narrative to enhance his eventual triumph, the fact that Jai Ganesh rarely depicts him experiencing happiness is insensitive.

Beyond Ganesh’s portrayal, Ranjith’s inadequately crafted script often lacks depth even in ordinary moments. The only scenes that offer the film some relief are those when the clock is ticking. However, many of the usual scenes, including casual conversations between characters, lack a natural flow and the dialogue feels forced and artificial, prompting one to facepalm.

At the same time, the film’s attempt to unnecessarily incorporate elements from Hinduism, seemingly for the sake of it, raises questions about whether they were included merely to align with Unni’s new image. Nidhi’s dialogue regarding people’s forgetfulness of superheroes in “Indian culture” and how Jai “Ganesh” could revive it makes it clear that the film is not talking about real-life superheroes but just Hindu gods, thus reinforcing the aforementioned observation. Additionally, the portrayal of a character, Uma Murthi, bearing a striking resemblance to Rajya Sabha MP and former chairperson of the Infosys Foundation Sudha Murty, prompts speculation about the movie’s underlying intentions disguised as a “superhero” film targeted at children.

Unni Mukundan’s performance, while occasionally genuine, tends to be overly loud, particularly given the numerous instances of Ganesh simply shouting at people throughout the film. His handling of emotional moments also comes across as amateurish. Paired with the lack of depth in the character, which renders everything rather superficial, Unni’s mediocre performance only exacerbates the situation. Even in casual moments, he seems unnecessarily intense, thus making the character appear even more aberrant.

“Thanks” to the shallowness of her character, Mahima also fails to provide anything substantial to the film. However, Ravindra Vijay and Ashokan stand out among the other actors. Vijay, portraying the antagonist on a suicide mission akin to Johnson ( Kamal Haasan ) in Chanakyan (1989), seeking vengeance for his daughter’s death due to harmful gas from a nearby dumping yard facilitated by Ayaan’s MLA father, adeptly handles the role, although it may remind viewers of Guru Somasundaram’s recent roles in Malayalam cinema. Ashokan excels as Ganesh’s father despite limited screen time, much like his recent performances.

Chandru Selvaraj’s cinematography partly salvages Jai Ganesh, particularly in the tense moments, but the thin script mostly undermines his efforts. Sangeeth Prathap’s editing, though neat, only manages to keep Jai Ganesh afloat to a limited extent. Like Unni Mukundan’s performance, Sangeeth Prathap’s background tracks are often overly loud and only occasionally complement the film effectively.

Jai Ganesh movie cast: Unni Mukundan, Mahima Nambiar, Ravindra Vijay, Jomol, Ashokan Jai Ganesh movie director: Ranjith Sankar Jai Ganesh movie rating: 2 stars

'Aavesham' Review: Fahadh Faasil hits it out of the park in Jithu Madhavan film

Director jithu madhavan's 'aavesham', starring fahadh faasil, is a zany action comedy. with fafa's exceptional performance and impeccable comedy timing, the film is a total winner, says our review..

Listen to Story

• 'Aavesham' released in theatres on April 11
• The film is directed by Jithu Madhavan of 'Romancham' fame
• Fahadh Faasil plays the lead role in the film

Release Date: 11 Apr, 2024

After the success of director 'Romancham', director Jithu Madhavan is back with 'Aavesham'. And this time, he teamed up with the one and only Fahadh Faasil. 'Aavesham' managed to pique everyone's curiosity. And the pre-release teaser where Fahadh Faasil, clad in a towel, did a fun dance, took the expectations to a crescendo. Did 'Aavesham' impress everyone? Let's find out!

Set in Bengaluru, 'Aavesham' revolves around three college students, Bibi, Santhan and Aju, who get enrolled in a college, where they get bullied and ragged by seniors. In order to take revenge, the college students join hands with a local goon Ranga (Fahadh Faasil). How Ranga's involvement in their lives brings a change forms the story.

Director Jithu Madhavan's 'Aavesham' is a mad-cap entertainer with exceptional performances. The action comedy deals with a simple storyline and that's where its beauty lies. The filmmaker doesn't waste time in showing how Ranga became a goon and concentrates on his unique character traits. It is the comedy that works to a major extent for the film.

The filmmaker concentrates on character arcs and makes them interesting for the audience. While the second half lags in terms of content, Jithu Madhavan redeems himself with the climax. Also, let's not forget the intermission, which was a perfect theatrical moment.

The title credits of 'Aavesham' 're-introduce' Fahadh as Ranga and you will know why. As Ranga, Fahadh Faasil has wonderfully portrayed the dynamic character. Initially, his character looks like a ruffian with a comedic sense. However, there is more than what meets the eye, and you will know as the story progresses. His 'eda mone' and many antics make this character quite enjoyable and entertaining.

Accompanying Ranga is Sanjin Gopu's character, Amban, whose one-liners become major contributors to comedy in 'Aavesham'. Together, they're a riot. Similarly, young actors Hipster, Roshan Shanavas and Mithun Jai Sankar ease into their roles, making the film intriguing.

If Fahadh Faasil's performance is a major asset to 'Aavesham', composer Sushin Shyam's music is yet another aspect that adds beauty to the wild ride. Cinematographer Sameer Thahir and editor Vivek Harshan complement each other in enhancing the effectiveness of 'Aavesham'.

'Aavesham' is truly an enjoyable affair with brilliantly choreographed action sequences and comedy sequences. If you're a fan of Fahadh Faasil, then 'Aavesham' will prove why you became his fan in the first place. 3.5 out of 5 stars for 'Aavesham'.
